Overarching Aim
To establish a clean energy standard of 20 percent renewable energy sourcing by 2025 and cut greenhouse gas emissions, improve resiliency, and increase overall energy efficiency
Goals
Build a renewable energy portfolio for the contiguous hospital and campus of at least 20% of overall energy consumption by 2025
Reduce Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 20% by 2025
Create a Green Revolving Fund for investment in projects that improve efficiency and decrease resource use
Establish an annual funding commitment to support the comprehensive energy plan
Strategies
- 1.Collect baseline data assessing the carbon footprint for energy, transportation, and waste for the campus and hospital
- 2.Purchase clean energy and promote actions that incentivize the construction of new clean energy projects
- 3.Develop a roadmap for carbon reduction with key performance indicators and benchmarks
- 4.Investigate opportunities for increasing the amount of energy generated from onsite renewable energy sources
- 5.Institute a Green Revolving Fund (GRF) to invest money in projects that improve efficiency and decrease resource use; cost savings that result from efficiency projects will replenish the GRF, allowing it to return to its original size, or to grow
- 6.Install interactive dashboards in lobbies of all major buildings to educate and engage occupants with energy and water consumption
